We are in Sardinia, in Ogliastra, a land of enchanting beauty situated along the eastern side of Sardinia. The territory between the peaks of Gennargentu and the Tyrrhenian Sea, is considered among the most evocative of the island. Defined the amphitheater on the sea, the Ogliastra includes several natural monuments, pristine beaches, recognized among the finest in the world and itineraries for trekking, mountain biking and climbing.

Exactly here, in high Ogliastra, in the small town of Villagrande Strisaili, lies the Il Menhir Agritourism, a family run business located in a scenic location, a short distance from the sea and the mountains. The farm started the activity in 1940 and in recent times it has taken on the look of a farm, with five elegantly furnished rooms and a dining room that can accommodate up to sixty people.

Il Menhir Agritourism has a laboratory used for the production of homemade pasta and exclusively handmade local products without the use of preservatives or coming from the local area companies, such as oil, cheese, wine, hams, pork and mutton, cakes, bread, cereals, vegetables and fruits.

One of the strengths of Maria Giuseppina’s farm is certainly the gastronomy; the menu that is served to guests, in fact, boasts dishes and succulent delicacies of local ogliastrina cuisine and Mediterranean dishes from the island, starting from the starters, with the famous ham of Villagrande, then move on to the cheeses, vegetables and meat courses, which owe their goodness to the methods of preparation and special cooking techniques, including the quality of the wood and shrubs used.

Among the main courses with which the agritourism delight the palate of its loyal customers, we suggest the pig on the spit called “On porceddu”, the lamb, goat and wild boar, all accompanied by cannonau good wine, the elixir of longevity that makes Villagrande Strisaili a destination for researchers and scholars of the most prestigious universities in the world.
